Thanks, I had forgotten about the "open" command, that's indeed very  
convenient.

BTW, is there a command-line way to define the default application for  
a given file extension (or UTI, I don't know what's used internally by  
OS X), other than the Get Info window in the Finder?

Agreed too. I don't remember exactly, but I thought most programs  
behaved this way already, including TeXworks.

With one notable exception: Preview. It's rather irritating, when  
opening a file in Preview to convert it to another graphics format,  
and pressing Save as, to have the Save dialog open in ~ whatever the  
directory the original file lives in, so every time and for every file  
you have to navigate manually back to this directory if you want to  
save the converted file there (which seems a logical thing to do).

I'm also using tabs a lot now that it's been introduced in Illustrator  
CS4.
